Your Stadium

Post by HenZoneNation »

Found this site called Stadiumjourney.com Has some nice write up and reviews on Stadiums across the country. They factor in Atmosphere. neighborhood, fanbase, return on invetsment, and extras. Pretty cool stuff. I think they're a little slow on the FCS so your school might not be up there yet. Did see Delaware and Montana, each got a 3.9/5.

And Bozeman scores higher. The site just lost any shred of credibility it might have had. :roll: :roll:
Extras 5


A few more items that make Bobcat Stadium even better:

Bobcatnation.com: This website (not affiliated with MSU) is where Bobcat fans gather online to talk about their favorite team. If you're a fan of a visiting team and coming to the game, log on to the Bobcatnation.com football message board and introduce yourself. You'll get lots of suggestions about what to do, where to eat, where to stay, etc. and you'll be invited to several tailgate parties.

The Bobcat Prowl: One hour and 15 minutes before kickoff, Champ the mascot, the cheerleaders, and the Spirit of the West Marching Band lead the team from the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse to the stadium. Fans line up along both sides of the procession to get the team pumped up. This is a tradition not to be missed!

The Great Falls Tailgate Party: The Bobcat Boosters from Great Falls, Montana setup a huge tailgate party for every home game. A donation gets you in where keg beer, soft drinks, hot chocolate, coffee and great food are available. The menu changes every week, but it's always good. The Great Falls folks make a special effort to welcome fans from the opposing team. They're always set up at the front entrance of the stadium right off Bobcat (Kagy) Boulevard. Just ask around, everybody knows where it is.

Burning Monte: The Great Falls folks always burn a teddy bear in defiance of the rival Montana Grizzlies' mascot Monte. Some find this tradition a bit crass, but it's become a fixture at every home game. They've even been known to let fans of other opposing teams, who also don't like the Grizzlies, do the honor of lighting up Monte.

Snow Shovel Volunteers: When a winter storm hits Bozeman right before a game (it doesn't happen every year), MSU Athletics will put out the word that they need help shoveling out the stadium. Dozens of Bobcat fans will show up to lend a hand, so when everybody gets to the game on Saturday the stadium is fully functional.
Love how bobcatnation.com gets big props, but egriz isn't even mentioned, despite having 3x as many members, 10x as many posts, and as many bobcat posters as there are on bn.com. :lol: :lol:

Maybe if the same writer went to both stadiums it would make for a better review and possibly the results you hope for.


Speaking of that. Northwest Elite index did a stadium/campus tour and he gave MSU a B and UM a B-.

Do they not know that Wa/Griz is louder and colder than anywhere else on earth?

I don't think they took that into account. Maybe Chris could start another website called Cold and Loud. It could rank stadiums using those two criteria only.

I went to the site, and Jack Winter absolutely nailed it in his review!

My favorite part of his article: "There may not be a more idyllic setting in all of college sports than Washington-Grizzly's.".

Nicely done & very true, Mr. Winter!! :thumb:

Sentence structure is everything. I MEANT that there was no mention of egriz on the UM review.

That seemed fairly obvious to me....

Our stadium is not as cold and not as loud. We'd get an F (probably an F-). :D

Why start another thread on this? You already have one, started by another UD fan no less.
